If it was targeting sue-happy Specialized, this would be spectacular theatre.
Trek should respond simply with a statement like "Chuck You, Farley."

Makes me wonder if Harley Davidson will sue Specialized for their Fat Boy.

Well as long as we're responding to not-quite-dead-but-certainly-moribund threads, the lawsuit was filed a year ago and the parties announced a settlement in June: https://www.bicycleretailer.com/indu...t#.W5foYuhKhjU
This is extremely routine and mundane legal maneuvering and business that is *only* noteworthy because of the tangential connection to Chris Farley.
